My 6.5 Creedmoor should arrive at my FFL today. I have been wondering which bullet to use. I have always been a Nosler man and normally a Partition man. I have never hand loaded the first Barnes. I may very well give them a shot.
I have to say though that I am ignorant about the rings/grooves/cannelure. Do I need to seat to one of them and crimp?
Steve thanks for taking time out to share this with us. I know it took a lot of work. If you tested a Nosler E-Tip 120 I missed it. It would be interesting to see how it compares to the Barnes since they are of similar unleaded construction.
